Since September, ChemChina Logistics has held a series of safety trainings for its tank wagon drivers. As of early October, more than 300 drivers have received training.
Tank wagon drivers are mostly migrant workers with very little knowledge about loading and unloading operations and safe transportation for standard oil products. Some of them didn’t even know how to handle emergencies, a big hidden danger to tank wagon operations and safety management. Therefore, the company held the training to increase their knowledge and professional skills. The training covered tank wagon operation and safety management, basic knowledge and transport management rules on dangerous goods, and new related traffic laws. .
To ensure the training covered everything and could be fully implemented in practice, the company also made follow-up tests for drivers, having them sign a letter of commitment to safety.
The training was well designed and greatly increased safety awareness among drivers. It helped improve various safety measures in the field. Management personnel said that the training had increased exchanges among drivers on safety measures and significantly cut down on blind and irrational operations.
